The Plentiful Natural Resources and Arts in Bashkortostan

Spoken primarily in the Russian Republic of Bashkortostan, the Bashkir language is a Turkic language stemming from the Kypchak group languages. Bashkir is an area of rich natural resources including minerals and oil and was one of the principal centers of oil extraction in the Soviet Union. Other major resources are natural gas, coal and chromite. The Republic of Bashkortostan has enough natural resources to power itself and export enough to cover its operating costs. Bashkortostan is also rich in woods. The total territory covered with forests is about 62,000 square miles. More than one third of the republic territory is covered with woods. The following types of trees dominate: birch tree, conifers, lime, oak, and maple. The region adheres to Islam and a mix of Orthodox Christians. Along with its natural resources and split religious affiliation, The Republic of Bashkortostan is well known for its folklore, singing and dancing companies. For such a small geographical state, Bashkortostan is a very diverse Republic.

Bashkir and its Harmonious Syllables

The modern Bashkir language, like the similar Tatar language, takes its roots from the Kypchak group of languages. Today the language has many dialects; some of them are similar to Tatar. In the past, Bashkirs used the Chagatay language as a written language. In the late 19th century it was replaced with Tatar, which was in use until 1923. The Bashkir language follows a unique synharmonic type of language because it is subjected to the strict law of synharmonism that is dependent on the first syllable of the word. This determines the structure or form of the word following it in accordance with the typology classification. A certified translation specialist is necessary for the Bashkir language due to this complex synchronization of harmony and syllables.

The Bashkir Alphabet

In 1923, a writing system based on the Arabic script was specifically created for the Bashkir language. At the same time, a Bashkir literary language was created, moving away from the Tatar influences. At first, it used a modified Arabic alphabet. In 1930 it was replaced with a Latin-based alphabet, which was in turn replaced with an adapted Cyrillic alphabet in winter of 1938.
